Let's spread some musical misinformation

Active clip-on tuners make the difference. Once clipped onto your nose, they will auto-tune your singing by pulling nose hairs.

Every TBer is so powerful they can shoulder a 5-string Thunderbird for more than one chorus!

Really not a great feat as Thunderbirds are made of Balsa and so weigh less than 2 lbs. However, the colour makes them look heavy and in purchasing one, the purchaser is required to enter into a contract to feign weight and claim a weight of at least 12lbs for their bass.

You can check your vocal accuracy by putting a clip-on tuner on your nose when you sing.

If GoogleGlass had a tuner app for vocalists, I might be interested.

When you're playing sheet music in front of an audience, try to do it quietly with the pages sequenced and in order.

Audience members say there's nothing worse than the sound of random loud flapping pages to ruin their listening experience.

His name is S. Keigh Moe. His friends call him Leroy. He is actually Gene Simmons' cousin. He's not in a real band, it's an air band.

And that's the plane truth, not a tall tail. However, I'd rudder not discuss these things....

Being a very rational bunch, TBers also have only 3 basses, a P with flats, a jazz with rounds, and a 5 string thunderbird. They will also never admit to owning a thunderbird.

There is a small percentage of TBers polled who buck trends, like having a P with rounds, a J with flats, and an upright with tort. They will never admit to having a Yamaha bass, so it wasn't listed.

Back in '82 Lemmy used sheet music, but I never heard any flapping page. The man was a wizard.

I heard Lemmy always had the sheet music tattooed on the inside if his eyelids, and then lazered off after every gig whilst
Partaking of a G&T!

Three of Lemmy's sheets were always in the wind..

In another poll it turns out that regardless of how many basses a TB'er has, they only own one strap.

I really do have only one strap for my several basses....

Oh no, I put the flats on the jazz. I don't have a Thunderbird.

 

[PillO]

Oh no, I put the flats on the jazz. I don't have a Thunderbird.

Incorrect strings can be corrected. Sure, you don't have a thunderbird, just like every other TBer...

The fastest solo ever played was performed in 1962 by an anonymous Sherpa at very high altitude. Sadly, this is against the rules and so, consequently, it was ruled to be illegal and no records were kept. Unofficially however, to this day, it's understood by elites everywhere that the best base for speed metal is Everest Base Camp.

Yamaha's trademark is actually a pun developed by Madison Avenue advertisers. When Yamaha started marketing motorcycles, they had already been making musical instruments for decades. Many people think the trademark is a stylized Y tripled in a circular fashion. It is actually three tuning forks arranged to look liked a motorcycle wheel. Since only one tuning fork is needed for reference purposes, the pun is that the motorcycle is a well tuned machine.

I guess you haven't been there recently. Since the decline of speed metal, it has been taken over by jazz players.

The three tuning forks logo isn't misinformation.

Also true is, that Yamaha decided to form a group, consisting of motorcycle specialists and luthiers to design the ultimate bass for metal.

Yeah, they're still working on that. Somehow the specs got misinterpreted and this is what they produced.

Yes, 'for' got misinterpreted as 'made of lots of' at the very least.

The theory that there is music of the spheres has now been determined to be a load of balls.
